The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon shows classic Spring Mountain characteristics. On the nose, this wine shows cedar, cassis, and bay leaf all interwoven with violets and white peppercorn. The palate presents notes of blackberry bramble, black plum, and cocoa finely integrated with a layer of bright red fruits, hints of thyme and lingering sage leaf on the finish. A strong but supple backbone of fine tannins and oak balance the fruit and provide a hint of the long-term aging possibilities. Like most Spring Mountain Vineyard Cabernets, this wine is ready to drink now but, with proper cellaring, it will reward those with patience for another 15+ years.

Winemaker’s Comments

Additional Notes

The 2016 vintage at Spring Mountain Vineyard is one of the best of the decade. Ideal conditions during flowering led to a balanced, healthy crop. The growing season progressed almost perfectly with mild summer days that built towards a warmer September and October, allowing for perfect ripening. We were able to carefully plan pick dates that were not forced by any severe weather incidents or conditions. The resulting wines highlight the balance in nuance, power, and depth that can occur in great vintages. The 2016 wines have an exceptional purity of fruit with elegance, finesse and complexity.
